wait 1 year and see how many guitars are on ebay.. you'll have pick of the litter.
I just wanted to say thanks.
I have several mental problems. A lot of stuff going on, actually. It's 5 a.m. in my timezone and I often can not make myself fall asleep due to anxiety. But trogly's video come up approximately that time. And they can really cheer me up sometimes.
So thanks Austin for awesome content and your love for guitars and your viewers!
He really does have a gentle and friendly manner, coupled with the fact that he is scrupulously honest. My favorite guitar channel, and there are a lot of good ones!
The tie-dye could be called a “Bile Burst”.
Better than a Chinese Copy! What would that be? the refried bean Bile Burst?
@@renegade2556 Refried beans are a Mexican thing.
@@renegade2556 you might rike reflied soybean curd
Nice!
Yeah, you've done a very good job of educating everyone to the worth of many Gibson guitars.
The Market seems to reflect this fact.
Yup. Thanks to him and a few other channels, chibsons got more accurate
9:19 Hey- That's my listing! Cool! And yeah, you really can't go wrong with that guitar! It's a tone monster! The only reason I'm selling it is that I recently acquired my dream guitar, a 1974 Les Paul Custom, and I've got to recoup from that purchase.
That Tribute looked like a great deal!
Austin, excellent video here. One of the best yet. Quick and to the point is desirable. Bravo!
I swear, for as many guitars as you handle you're blind as a bat when it comes to spotting body seams...
And these hunting episodes are always super fun.
I mean, I play technical deathcore/metalcore myself, but man, these guitars are cool!
The LP studio looks alright for the price. Man, you keep on passing over the Gibson semi-hollow bodies. I'm a Chuck Berry and Eric Clapton fan, I'd love it if you would demo a few of those.
Chucks 350t should eventually get here
For straight up rhythm guitar playing, one of the sweetest guitars ever made is the Gibson ES-330 or Epiphone Casino. I had a 1965 Epiphone Casino in the Beatles style tobacco sunburst from 1971-73. Wonderful playing and sounding guitar.
Love your show! Tear down an EVH sometime. 🤘
It's a simple formula. I see Explorer I click. Love that truss rod cover.
I am an original owner of a 1974 SG cherry red with a Bixby factory-installed from what I understandin the course over three years only 600 were made like this which means that was only 200 a year with a bigsby tailpiece stamped with the Gibson logo on itand Grover tuners which are also stamped with Gibson logos on them and has big block inlay and an ebony fretboard with a 498 and the 490
God I cannot put into words how badly I want that mint green explorer in the thumbnail
It’s the evil V . Made guitars scarce for awhile, even now . GC put out a cattle call in my area. For used gear , plus they called the local music stores for gear
Yeah, GC fell in shit creek. Rickenbacker even quit selling to GC recently
What do you mean?
@@Livelaughlimpbizkit They can't get enough guitars in stores because they're so screwed with debt. They can't even get people to accept cash for used gear
@@wesleyzimmerman94 Do you mean the entire GC chain is going under or just in your area?
@@donniekellerman5833 The company as a whole
The price is Les Paul Studios today cost as much as Les Paul Standards 10+ years ago. Les Paul Customs in the mid-2000’s were less than $3000 new....
Absolutely in love with the Metallic Green Explorer 🤘💯🤘
I love the wider fingerboard of the 2015's(I have a 2013). I wish my 2020 Standard 60's had the wider nut.
In the late 60s Gibson nuts were pretty slim.
My dream explorer was one MARS music did in the 90's. It had a diamond sparkle wrap and a mirror pickguard. I just missed one on sale a few years ago.
Imagine if gibson included strap locks with their guitars. They would probably lose a lot of money from people not buying replacement guitars after dropping theirs and having the headstock break clean off.
Bandit Keith King of Duel Monsters I can’t even count how many times my ES335 fell off the strap before I bought strap locks for it. I’m fortunate that it never hit the floor
I traded a friend a Gibson LP Std. gold top. He lightly dropped it on his couch to answer the phone and the headstock sheared off. Of course, the headstock popping-est guitar ever was the insanely heavy Epiphone Genesis model of the late 1970s, early 80s. Near impossible to find one that hasn't had a repair, and if you do, they want too much, ha. But having owned a Gibson LP Std. and the Genesis at the same time, I can tell you the Genesis makes a LP sound like a Telecaster. They got the fattest HB tone ever, really nice.
My 90s SG has seen better days, though it’s Gloss Black and that shows EVERYTHING if it’s not 100% perfect, but never had an issue with the headstock (probably helps that I replaced the strap buttons with something more of a Fender style and I use a locking strap (one of those planet waves ones), I tried the Dunlop strap lock system on an old Accubass I rebuilt for a family member (this monster weighed a ton).
@@joermnyc I found another solution to secure the straps on my Gibsons : i fit two rubber rings, one at each side, on the strap buttons, that I found on beer bottles. Cheap and easy and you have something to drink, to boot.
Some really nice guitars have come up today Austin.
One of the best playing guitars I own is a 50's style two tone sunburst Strat made from South Korean parts and assembled by luthiers in New Jersey and sold through Sears in the late 60's. It plays better than any fender I ever owned has no skunk stripe and no hole in the headstock like a real 50's Fender Guitar. The Tone is unbelievable. The neck was warped when I got it and I looked at it as a worthless piece of junk and left it in the garage with my Motorcycles in an old boogie case for ten years. New York winters straightened out the neck! Solid Ash body with a maple neck! I am no luthier but I filed the wayward frets and replaced a pot switch and it played so much better than my 68 Blond Strat that I gave the real custom Strat to a friend of mine and kept this thing!My Sister in law got it for Christmas when she was a kid. You play one chord on this thing and it is unbelieveably 1968. Screw the Brand! I almost put a fender decal on the headstock but this guitar deserves to be just what it is! An outrageous Guitar! And my friend may think he got a deal on a Free Fender Custom but I kept the better playing guitar and that is what a guitar should be about!you can rebuild , Refret,and Change Pickups till you puke! I am Just some idiot that plays guitar, and this thing sounds better and plays better than a real Fender, it has a mellow groove ,whereas my Fender screeched like some ex Girlfriend sliding naked down a splintery two by four.You can never Judge a book by its' cover says I! What a guitar looks like means nothing! Be it covered with Tobacco Smoke and Dog Shit may make it play better! And Sometimes leaving well enough alone and setting it aside for a while is better than trying to immediately Remove any trace of the previous owner!
At Face Value, I have no affiliation with( four.You ) and am sick of editing shit.
This is a true and honest story about a guitar I own that is worth more than a big name brand to me! I love Gibson Guitars! I have never bought a Gibson Guitar or a Fender Guitar. I cannot afford them! The Gibsons and Fenders I own were recieved as gifts or tips for work I did for Friends and Family.
They had a bunch of Gibson's in the new Bill and Ted Face the Music movie. It was pretty cool.
KOOL KITTY - Thanks for the heads up... 🌭
Nice guitar
Another great video, Trogly!
Love your channel
I love your channel, can’t stop watching. Also I could definitely use some help buying my first Gibson. I’m not sure where the best way to chat with you about it? Thanks
I really like the Explorer(huge fan of the model thanks to Metallica) , it would have been cool in a metallic/sparkle gun metal grey finish IMO.
Rick Nielsen made Explorers popular in the 70s with Hamer models.
I’d love if you did more explorers!
Oooh yeah can't wait to see that Gretsch!!!
Love all your video's trogly best wishes from the uk
Hey Austin great show!! love your videos! would you ever do a Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT review? It seems like a very good guitar at a low price! keep on rocking man!
Can't wait to see the Penguin ! 👍
I love this series keep it up it’s so entertaining 🤘🏻🎸🔥 also what are your thoughts on the Kurt cobain jaguar and plz do a review on it
I’ve heard horror stories from people dealing with Reverb and eBay so I don’t check them often. I’ve recently been thinking of selling my 2016 ES335 Studio and I checked Reverb and saw a couple listed for $2,800. I only paid $1,900 brand new. I’d love to sell it for more than what I paid for it.
In the last 3 years I've dealt with both Reverb & Ebay several time each. I have never had a problem at all. I look at Reverb several times a day & theres tons of stuff being added by the hr. Try not to limit your options b-cuz of hear say, you may find your dream guitar there. 😉 HAPPY HUNTING!🎸🔍
Beautiful explorer
It sounds strange now, but because the Ibanez RG series and other shredders were so popular in the late 70s, the joke among a lot of guitar players was that you could hardly give away a Gibson Les Paul, let alone sell it. They only cost about $375 new. Hence, Gibson made the Les Pauls with the factory installed flat Kahler whammy, locking nut and the thinnest neck you ever saw on a Les Paul, to try to compete with the shredder guitars. I owned a 1979 Gibson LP Std. that had the Kahler removed and top patched circa 2003 to 2009. I have seen and owned a lot of Gibson Les Pauls since the late 1960s, and that '79 had the thinnest neck I ever saw/played on a Les Paul. It was heavy though, a 10 pounder.
Oddly, I bought the '79 at now gone Players Guitars in Jackson, TN, in Casey Jones Village. The two good old boys there, who knew Carl Perkins and had some autographed pix of him in the shop, thought the flat Kahler whammy was an add on, and had removed it and patched the top, etc. It was definitely ruined for vintage value, but was a nice player. They had refinished it from tobacco sunburst to a gold top. A guy who knew his stuff back in Memphis at Yarbrough's Music explained to me what the real history of the guitar was. He had the experience and eye to point it all out to me, from vestiges still left under the paint, the locking nut holes, etc.
Players had the '79 up high at $1250 or something like that. But, they gave me an amazing trade in value of $4 more than I had in the Chicago Blue Gibson Blueshawk that I had bought new, including the nice light brown Canadian TKL with pink throw blanket OHSC I had bought used years before by accident, thinking it was an SG OSHC, so I just paid the extra $550 by check after trade in value, and took the LP home. The Blueshawk was cool, esp. in looks, but I never really liked the P-90s on it that much and the varitone control was sort of weak or odd sounding in most positions, so I was super happy to get such a great trade in value on it and liked playing the 79 LP a lot better.
Trogly dude the TV yellow originally is a grain showing color, it looked spot on, clean your glasses bro,I hate making this comment, considering gibsons quality control problems over the years,what color did it gravitate to in person. 🤣👍
I bought a brand new Gibson les paul studio in 2012 for $500 from guitar center, now they're almost $1500!
Is good to be here early
Congratulations
I have a buddy with a blue les paul like that. I'll mention that your looking for one. He might sell. It's in pretty good shape too. Very minimal checking.
Did Gibson install factory Kahler trems and just forget to put the headstock clamp on? Or am I missing some info here.....
Ive been looking for a Chet Atkins nylon string....but I cant believe the prices they go for now...do one of those!. ;)
The Hendrix is cool, by 12k? Nah.
Haha! That wine red Les Paul Studio with no reserve has a link to one of you videos in the description. The video is you talking about a 94 Studio Wine Red Les Paul. “This Studio Rocks”. He doesn’t claim that his is the one you reviewed he just says it’s a video talking about LPs from that era.
you should do a tele review. haven't seen one in ages :D
I wonder how much one of those GLP Studio Platinums would be worth in the sunset orange? I think they’re more rare?
Hunting for Trodglys on Guitarbay
Good video
Figures now that I actually want a black Studio they're about $500 more than they used to be
Man, you like Gibson guitars.
My Gibson SG gets put back into the Gibson gig back that it came in after every playing of it.
It is a great guitar but I found Fender.
People stuck at home, price goes up when inventory is going down.
lol my cars factory colour is Bahama blue, maybe I should get that guitar
Another video that I haven't seen 👀
Didn’t Hendrix Flying V have a maestro vibrola not the tuneomatic?
Hey brother, I LOVE your channel. I have a 2010 PRS SAS (swamp ash special) 25th anniversary model. It's Blackburst in color, which means its black but in the light you can see the grain of the ash top...very cool! 3 sets of PRS Narrowfield pickups, trem, phase 2 string lock. An INCREDIBLE looking, playing & highly figured flame maple neck/f-board. It sounds fantastic but I'm looking towards playing music that it doesn't quite fit. (my fault not the guitar). I'm looking for a straight up trade. Any ideas as to go about this? You're help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thank you....
Don't care for bright greens on a guitar especially gumby green. Explorers always look like they should have 59 Cadillac tail lights on them.
Please, do the Steve Morse Music Man review :D
That les paul jr does look like a three piece on the front.
I remember when gibson's were plentiful and lower priced then ww2 hit....lol
You mean WW3 currently driving prices up?
@@dylanzrim1011 Gibson prices were high even back then, now it's really bad....
It was definitely that Wall Street Trader idiot Henry J. who ruined Gibson. They were a little bit pricey, but still affordable, until he took over in the late 1980s. He was not necessarily such a terrible guy (remember Obama and crew raided him, but not Martin for the same exact alleged wood import crimes, that was pretty obviously political), but he really turned the average working musician against owning Gibsons when he immediately jacked up the prices upon his ownership of the company. After that, when you assessed the risks of live gigs to the cost of buying a Gibson, I just went way more Carvin, Fender, Ibanez, G&L and other brands after that, although I still own three Gibsons and one Epiphone.
@Dagwood Dogwood guitar center has a blonde 52 Esquire for sale right now for $16.699.99! Back then the mexicans didn't make quality instruments... But they do now!
@@nealixd.3011You are spot on! In the olden times having a Gibson was like buying a Cadillac. Carvin is one of my favorite instruments as well as G&L. The Ibenez gem is a good one too. But the good ole Gibson archtops are my favorite, just love the sound of them.
Hi, I am looking for a cherry red explorer (Gibson USA), can you help?
Could you do a video about the Eko Rokes Guitar?
American musical has epiphone special II starter packs NOS
You must be a little proud when you see a seller who breaks out the calipers and posts measurements in their listings.
Just saw a LP burst for $995 somewhere. Wasn't a second.
One and done for me. I bought a studio new at Sam ash. It played like shit. The frets were sprouting. Never again. And the fact they charge so much when their quality has took a nose dive is just a testament to how much they don’t care. You can buy a schecter at half the price and have it slay a Gibson as far as playability.
Have you ever reviewed the Gibson, 2008 Guitar of the Month, Longhorn?
not yet
@@Trog How would I go about sending you mine?
Do a review on a gibson tribute!
I saw a lot of these guitars when I was on eBay like 3 hours ago, kinda weird to see Trogly going over stuff I just saw lol
I was even wondering if the 04 studio platinum was a good price now I may have to go and pick it up
Gibson is to Trogly what Toyota is to Scotty Kilmer.
Why is a Kahler undesirable? I used to have a Squier Strat that had one, and I currently own a BC Rich Warlock that has one
They're no longer mass produced & difficult to find parts for. And a little more complicated to string through....I don't know why F-Rose did away with the 'Speedloader' term. You could change all 6 strings in 45 seconds!
Donnie Kellerman I had no idea. I had the Strat for over 30 years and never had a problem with it. The Warlock was a gift, it’s my least favorite guitar, but it’s playable
How do you get rid of all the Japan auctions on eBay? Its very irritating

Hey trogly! Did you see that 10S Guitars took all of your critique of their silverburst into account and released a new one? Would love to see a review of the new one!
That company is a sham I wouldn't support them
Michael Gonzalez, Anthony lol in what way
When they first started their ig they had uploaded photos of mid progress and complete builds that where other Luthier(s) work as they own.
Michael Gonzalez, Anthony i mean if you did any research whatsoever you’d know that was the US marketing person and not 10s guitars. It was also over a year ago.
I’ll go ahead and trust their hundreds of positive reverb reviews, thanks.

Someone buy a 1968 Telecaster bass through him 😂 I've played one before but can't afford them. To me, they sound great
Dang Japanese sellers are buying up stuff and selling it for more like those Gibson CM guitars that were like $400 or $500 new and trying to sell them for over a $1,000. There is a special place in hell for ebay sellers that rip people off.
can u do an episode about epiphone casino?
Gibsons are not any tiers above Fender so why they sell for more than a Strat or Tele is beyond me. In fact, I think they are all a tier below Fender
Change the name to Trogly's Gibson Show.
I have that junior, bought it used, came with a new nut, kluson tuners, gutted it for cts pots, orange drop capacitors, treble bleed and I dropped an antiquity p90 in it. Thing plays amazing, it’s so loud acoustically and really resonates
My 58 single cut Jr. has a nice, clean but warm tone at low volume, then you crank it up and it's insane! In the 70's I ran it through an Ampeg SVT with 2 cabs & 16 ten inch speakers. That thing sounded like the live version of Missippi Queen. Yeah, I'm old. Still playing.
Mike Ellis that’s amazing, jr’s and specials are my favourite guitars, I only have a 2015 (one in the video) everyone hates that year but I changed out the crap parts (got it really cheap) and now it plays amazing. I’m planning on getting an Eastman jr too.
Mike Ellis damn 16 tens!
16 Tens. 750 watts RMS. 1500 Peak Power. Too Much. The 70's were all about BIG Amps, Loud Volume. The Stones used 2 Ampeg SVTs per guitarist in concert. Good thing I only needed one! I had to buy a Step-Van to move it around. It's long gone now but I still have Jr. With the original price tag. $120 in 1958. I was one year old.
Ryan, is your Jr. Sunburst or solid color?
You're funny. "The way to tell if it's Gibson installed is if it says Gibson on it." Very next sentence. "Just because it says Gibson on it, doesn't mean it was factory installed."😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

INFLATION
Jimi's had a Maestro vibrola
And don't forget that eBay now charges sales tax on everything. In some places that can be up to 8 1/2% or more ! So on a $2,000 Guitar that can be up to $175.00 just in tax ! And they charge tax on the shipping as well ! You can thank Donald Trump for that one ! "He" signed it into law !
Sales Tax here in Tennessee is 9.75%.
However, we don’t have state income tax and property tax is reasonable in most places especially if you’re not paying city and county property tax. Another plus of the high sales tax is that Tennessee has (or at least had pre COVID Shutdown) a large tourism industry which generates a lot of sales tax revenue. Additionally, for residents near the border I think every state that borders TN has a lower sales tax, and the majority (if not all) of the state is within an hour’s drive of the nearest neighboring state.
Actually its a state by state law, made possible by the supreme court in SD vs Wayfair, thats why Reverb keeps adding states. Not a national thing that would be all states at once which is what the President would do.
I could understand a business paying tax, but paying tax for a used item that already had sales tax collected is crazy. Just another way for the government to get in your pocket.
Kevin Patton
I totally agree with you on the collection of sales tax on used items in sales between two individuals. It is absolutely ridiculous.
